Roads Minister threatens to terminate Techiman–Nkonsia–Wenchi road contract
The Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has warned that government will terminate the contract of Volta Impex Construction if the company does not speed up work on the 32-kilometre Techiman–Nkonsia–Wenchi road.
Ghana's Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Agbodza, has threatened to end the contract with Volta Impex Construction on the Techiman–Nkonsia–Wenchi road project if delays continue. The contract covers a 32-kilometre stretch of road. Agbodza expressed frustration, stating that the contractor has disregarded warnings from the Ghana Highway Authority to meet progress targets.
The project, slated to be 15-20 percent complete, is only six percent done. During a site visit as part of a road inspection tour across several regions, the minister emphasized that delays are intolerable. A decision on the project's future will be made following a meeting with the contractor on Monday, September 7. The contractor received GH¢66 million in mobilisation payments in May to kickstart the project, but Agbodza finds the current pace unacceptable.
